National costume? Check. We've all heard of that.
National footwear? Hmmm ...
What do the majority of people in your country wear on their feet? I would consider that the national footwear.
In tropical Singapore, the national footwear happens to be flip flops. It's the footwear of choice in the heat and in the rain. We wear flip flops for comfort and practicality.
For a fun day out, wear shorts, a t-shirt and complete the look with a pair of flip flops. Ready!
Relac! Wear flip flops!
P.S. I think there are many other countries who can also say that their national footwear is flip flops. Look at Havaianas from Brazil.

What is important to you?
What is important to you?
Present enjoyment or delayed gratification?
Whichever you choose, that one is "importanter" to you! (At least according to this sign!)
Obviously the owner of the pub decided that beer (consuming, promoting, selling, etc) will be able to feed him and his family for a lifetime, so he choose that over a good education. That is his choice alone.
I hope that you, dear reader, will choose education instead! Absolutely no one can take learning away from you!
One added benefit: learning a language well ensures that you don't look stupid in front of others! Haha.
Have fun with English!
